Question

In a class test containing 10 questions, 3 marks are awarded for every correct answer, (-1) mark is awarded for every incorrect answer and 0 for the questions not attempted. Srinu gets two correct and six incorrect answers out of eight questions he attempted. What is his total score?

• A. 0
• B. 2
• C. -2
• D. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is A

0

Marks awarded for one correct answer = +3
Marks awarded for one incorrect answer = -1
Marks awarded for unattempted answer = 0
Of the 10 questions in the test, Srinu has answered 2 questions correctly, 6 questions incorrectly and 2 are not attempted.
So, the total score = 2 $\times$ (+3) + 6 $\times$ (-1) + 2 $\times$ (0)
= 6 - 6 + 0 = 0
Therefore, Srinu's score is 0.
